Hey You,
You’ve been working hard, haven’t you?
Trying your best.
Doing what you can.
And sometimes you wonder…does it even matter?
Let me lean and whisper close, “Yes, it matters. And you do too.”
More than you know, more than you see.
Your bravery makes a difference.
Even when it’s the quiet kind.
The kind that simply says, “I will get up today and try again.”
That’s powerful, friend.
It sends ripples across your world in ways beyond what you know.
Yes, sometimes we get tired.
Every single one of us.
But we will not be defeated.
We will not back down.
We will not quit.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. {Gal. 6:9}
There are good things coming, friend. Beneath the surface.
Growing with each step you take.
And pretty soon they’re going to come bursting through and bloom into joy.
So let’s take a deep breath, wrap our arms around each other’s shoulders and say again…
“We can do this–we can do anything–together with Jesus.”
